hey guys I do basic php stuff but I am no pro

I created a form and php file that lets me ad articles to my site and it works well here is where I am stuck.

when I type or paste in an article I first paste it into notepad and replace " with \"
and that works fine. But would some one tell me the code to use in my php file to replace the " with \" as the input from the form is being processed by my file.

so I can cut out the extra step with notpad.

Thanks in advance.

You mean addslashes() ?

http://be2.php.net/addslashes

then when displaying you can use

stripslashes()

http://uk3.php.net/stripslashes

I had a little trouble figuring the syntax but I got it thanks a bunch.

The input from the form is being written to a php file thats why I needed the slashes added. it works perfect now I can skip the notepad step. Now if I can get the string replace right I use the article name as the filename so I need to add _ between each word If I can get that to work the scrip will be nice for a beginner.

So you just need to replace each space with an underscore?

PHP Code:

str_replace(' ', '_', $myStr); 


Just wanted to stop and say thanks for the help it was very easy after seeing your posts.
I have just never used adslashes before and did not even think about it, So thanks again for the help
